Summary

Scoold is a Q&A and knowledge sharing platform for teams. Prior to 1.69.1, checkApiAuth() in ScooldUtils.java accepts a JWT signed with app_secret_key or para_secret_key for /api/config and /api/stats without requiring a registered API-key jti, and maps the request to the hardcoded administrative API_USER. The special endpoint checks run even when scoold.api_enabled is false. An attacker who obtains either signing secret can forge a token that reads sensitive configuration and server logs and reaches privileged configuration functionality.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with access to the signing secret can gain administrative privileges and read sensitive configuration data and server logs. An ordinary login-session token is not sufficient to exploit the vulnerability.

Recommendation

Update Scoold to version 1.69.1 or later, which fixes this vulnerability.
